Instructions

  • If your garlic powder is clumpy, break up any clumps so it measures smoothly.
  • Put 4 tablespoons of the salted butter in a small, microwave-safe bowl and gently melt in the microwave until liquid.
  • Stir the 1 teaspoon garlic powder into the melted butter until evenly combined.
  • Brush both sides of each piece of bread (use either the 6 pull-apart bar-b-q slices or 4 slices Texas Toast) with the garlic butter mixture.
  • Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat until hot.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of salted butter to the griddle and swirl or spread it to evenly coat the cooking surface.
  • Place the buttered bread on the griddle and cook 2–3 minutes per side, flipping once, until each side is golden brown.
  • Remove from the griddle and serve immediately. If using Texas Toast slices, cut them diagonally into triangles before serving.

Notes

Notes
I like to make Texas Toast with soft white "pull apart bread", like they do at
Raising Cane's
. Here's a link to
pull-apart bread
, so you know what I'm talking about. I grew up on this bread – Mom bought it at local small town bakeries and served it for holidays and special meals. But it's hard to find where I live now. I get mine from the bakery at
County Fair
, a grocery store where my parents now live in South Dakota. I think this bread is much more of a southern or BBQ thing, from my online search results. When we ate at
Salt Lick BBQ
outside of Austin, TX this past October, they gave our family of 4 a half loaf of this pull apart bread to eat with our BBQ meal! If you can't find pull apart bread, substitute with
Texas Toast Bread
